“Absolutely love the Elephant extension for Free Download Manager! It adds a whole new dimension to my downloading experience. No more hassle with video downloads - it's quick and simple. Highly recommended!”

“Elephant is a must-have extension if you use Free Download Manager. Downloading videos is now so much simpler, and the integration is seamless. Couldn't be happier with the added functionality!”

FDM (Free Download Manager) is an excellent tool for efficient downloading of files. With it, you can boost your downloads up to 10 times, manage them and control your traffic usage. However, FDM cannot capture YouTube videos.
To download videos from YouTube and other websites, we recommend using the Elephant add-on built on yt-dlp. This program extension seamlessly integrates with Free Download Manager and provides support for downloading content from various video-hosting platforms, particularly YouTube. With its source code available on GitHub, the Elephant add-on is free and completely safe to use.

Only really important things, we promise!
is there a way to download just an mp3 from youtube
Pafu, Unfortunately, for now there is no such option. Thank you for your suggestion, it will be passed to our developers. We appreciate your help in improving our add-on and enhancing its user-friendliness.
It's very user-friendly and easy to download.
Worked perfectly, unlike what some of these comments say. I just added the link of the YT video like I would add the link for any other download and it allowed me to select the resolution. very positively surprised.
EXCELLENT
no one explains how it works and what to do, crazy. it seems you have to click add and paste link from every site, but doesnt work with all web-videos, popular sites like youtube works ok
dave, Just click the + button in the program's main window, copy and paste the download link, choose the desired location to save your file, and it will start downloading.
FDM can also automatically catch downloads from your browser while you initiate a download in your browser to download it better. For that, you need only to install the FDM extensions for your browser, the link you can find in the Browser integration of the FDM preferences.
Some websites put restrictions for download managers which can't be avoided and in such cases videos won't be downloaded.
